The Levenhuk SkyMatic 127 GT MAK telescope is a powerful and compact Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope that produces high-quality, detailed images of the lunar surface, planetary disks, binary stars, and nebulae. Featuring a relatively large aperture and standard 1.25" eyepieces, this telescope allows you to observe nebulae and star clusters, while the GoTo mount with computerized tracking systems allows you to capture stunning images of the planets of the Solar System and the Moon with ease. This handy instrument is a perfect choice for amateur astronomers, as it automatically navigates between celestial objects. However, it remains a powerful telescope that allows experienced astronomers to practice astrophotography.
The SynScan AZ GoTo azimuth mount with a hand controller is extremely easy to use. Navigating to the most interesting celestial objects requires no experience or knowledge, as the telescope will do it all by itself. The SynScan AZ database includes over 42,000 objects, so you'll never run out of things to observe. To make things even easier, the mount can be connected to a PC and controlled by any planetary software (the cable is included in the kit).
Focus is achieved by adjusting the primary mirror with a fine focus knob.

The Levenhuk SkyMatic series includes reflector and Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes with GoTo. Computerized drive systems on both mount axes and the intuitive SynScan AZ controls significantly reduce the time required to find hidden gems on the celestial sphere and allow you to observe the most interesting objects without having to spend precious time checking astronomical tables. Levenhuk SkyMatic telescopes with GoTo mounts are intelligent telescopes that find stars on their own.
